We can see here the basic statistics for every variable. They show a big gap between the min and the max, as well as between the mean and the median. We will try to determine the factors that influence these gaps.

Exploratory Data Analysis

We can see from the table that revenues vary greatly from one business to another. To have a better view on the difference, let’s represent these values on a graph.

Income per company

Total income in 2019

 

Here, we can clearly see the gap between companies, it also explains the difference between the mean and median : the first five companies generate more than all the other together. Although the market is very competitive, it is still dominated by only a few companies. Let’s have a look now on the 2020 income, to see of we have the same ranking.

Total income in 2020

 

In order to see to evolution after 1 year, we have decided to keep the same order as in 2019. It is noticeable that although there is almost no change between the largest companies, for medium and small companies the competition is much tougher, with many changes in the ranking. Let’s see if the YoY growth rate can explain it !

YoY growth rate

 

Keeping the same ranking (by total income in 2019), we can see that having a high income does not necessarily imply a high growth rate. It is even clearer for Q1, where we can see a negative correlation. (the less revenue you have, the higher the growth rate will be)


Now that we have seen the revenues of several companies, let’s see if the region of the HQ can influence them.

Mean and total income per region

2019 full year

2020 half year

Number of company

We can see that income generated by region does not fluctuate from one year to the next, the proportions remain the same. However, we can notice that the average income does not differ much among regions, the gap is mainly created by the difference in the number of companies present in each region.

Companies investments

We will now have a look on investment made by company.

Data sources and description

These data also comes from the website : Newzoo.com. We will use them to see if the amount of the investment is growing over the years and if certain factors can influence it.

We can see that these data consist of 653 observations of 5 attributes.

Here is a description of each attribute :

  • Date : date on which the investment was made
  • Investment type : the type of the investment
  • Secors : the sectors that received the investment
  • Investee : the company that received the investment
  • Amount : The amount of the investment

Summary

#>      Amount          
#>  Min.   :     25000  
#>  1st Qu.:   2500000  
#>  Median :   7000000  
#>  Mean   :  79488851  
#>  3rd Qu.:  30000000  
#>  Max.   :5700000000

 

We can see here the basic statistics for the amount invested. They show a big gap between the min and the max, as well as between the mean and the median. We will try to determine the factors that influence these gaps.

Exploratory Data Analysis

The table does not allow us to find any pattern in the investments amounts. To do so, we will look at sectors and the investment type separately and try see if can find any correlation between these variables and money invested. We also have to keep in mind that we don’t have enough data to be really representative of reality, we will just try to define some trends.The following plots display the total amount of investments per month.

Monthly investment

Total

Number

Mean

Median

With the exception of the number of investments made, time does not influence its amount, we can only say that there are more and more of them. Again, this is probably due to the lack of data contained in this data-set. Let’s now have a look on how the investment type can influence the investment.

The influence from the investment type

Total

Number

Mean

Median

Regarding the total amount invested, Acquisition, Corporate, IPO and Venture are largely those that generate the most money (about 82% of the total). However, we can observe that is not correlated with the mean amount invested, which can differ a lot among the type, independently of the ranking. The difference is mainly due to the number of investments made per type, not from the amount. Let’s now have a look on how the sector can influence the investment.

The influence from the sector

Number

Mean

Median

Here again, we see can that the number of investments in each sector does not influence the average amount of these investments. However, it is interesting to note that the mean is significantly above the median, meaning than most investments are small, while others are very large, pushing to average up.
